The 'American Pie' actor was offered the role of Ted Mosby - which ultimately went to Josh Radnor - in the long-running stitcom because he rejected the part because he didn't want to make the move from movies to television at the time.
Speaking on SiriusXM's 'The Covino and Rich Show', he said: "I was offered the role. Yes.
"I was offered the role and it's probably my biggest regret, you know, on passing. I think I was in a phase of, at the time — it sounds so obnoxious to say right now – but at the time it was like, 'OK, do I want to do TV?' I don't know that I was quite ready to go that route."
Although the 42-year-old star insisted he has "no regrets" about his decision when considering the "big picture", he does still sometimes wonder how differently his career could have turned out.
He said: "Big picture, I have no regrets. Right? I'm very lucky, very fortunate. I'm still here. That's number one.
"But yeah, if I had to pick out something I wish I had done differently, I would've taken that gig for sure. Absolutely."
Jason's 'American Pie' co-star Alyson Hannigan went on to join the show, but he admitted it wasn't a project they'd discussed together.
He said: "We've never really talked about it. I don't know that she knows actually."
Despite his reservations about making the move to the small screen, Jason went on to star in Netflix prison drama 'Orange is the New Black' and the now cancelled sitcom 'Outmatched', which aired for just one season in 2020.
